Two ponies were sitting together in the train to Canterlot. Applejack rested her searing and aching head against the cool glass. It helped her cool down and remove the pain a little. She heard her family's voices echoing round her head, and she couldn't stop it. She had had a rough night's sleep, too. She had nightmares of being murdered, a family member being killed, and Granny Smith being executed in the centre of Ponyville where everypony could see.
Pinkie Pie was sitting next to Applejack. They were far away from Rainbow Dash and Rarity. They had to take different trains as they were coming from different places. They weren't allowed to go near rainbow dash or rarity anyway. Not that Pinkie Pie was bad company, they just wanted to see each other. That was all. Pinkie pie's blue eyes were staring down at her hooves. Her hair was still straight. It looked like she had ironed it out.
"Pinkie pie, I've been thinking."
"What is it applejack?"
"Should we form an alliance? Ah know we would be unstoppable, but when it gets to the end.."
"I understand what you are trying to say. You are trying to say that if we made such a great team, and managed to kill all the other victors, we would only be left with each other, and there can only be one winner." Pinkie pie winced at the thought.
Applejack pressed her head against the window again. "The odds are definitely not in my favour." She wanted to cry, but she couldn't do it in front of the other two earth ponies on the other side of the carriage. Pinkie pie sat closer to her. "Pinkie Pie, I don't know what to do. Ah promised meh sister that I would try to come back for her. But I can't. I can't try with meh friends in the arena with me."
"I'm not gonna make it, AJ."
"I don't know if I will either," Applejack replied. "Which makes me feel even worse. Mah family need me more than anypony else."
The train suddenly halted. They were there.
I am actually liking this story, though I still do have a couple problems with this, in example, if the drawing for Pegasi was clearly in Cloudsdale in Fluttershy's flashback, then why was it in Ponyville, a town consisting of mostly earth ponies? Also, if Nightmare Moon took over Equestria over a thousand years ago, then how could the mane six possibly meet? Let alone even exist?
Well, I'm glad I got more likes than dislikes.
Thank you!
I need to do some editing. Thank you serpent12 and wakuboys for pointing out my mistakes.
Oh, and.. Should I change luna to celestia so that Luna is good and celestia is evil ?
3733626 um, this in a completely different story set at a different time. So, that doesn't really matter. I will fix the problem in Fluttershy's vision, though.
This is almost as good as the hunger games which is impossible to top in my opinion
3734268 that's almost impossible. They wouldn't be able to handle it. Plus I don't know what to do with Fluttershy or twilight in the arena
Oh yeah- forgot to add, I am editing right now. I am fixing my grammar mistakes, and instead of luna being evil, it's celestia. Thanks again serpent12, I wouldn't be editing if you hadn't told me.
3733626 there isn't anything about being in ponyville in Fluttershy's flashback!
3734363 I see what happened; In the show, there was only one reference to a mayor, the mayor of Ponyville, but there was never a reference (That I know of) of a mayor in Cloudsdale so it was safe to assume (for me anyways) that it was in Ponyville, especially with the drawing for the earth ponies being held in Appleoosa, instead of Ponyville.
3734408 Okay. I understand now. there is probably a mayor for all the towns, if there is one for ponyville. But never mind.
Braeburn is the mayor/ sheriff of Appleoosa, right? Oh dear, I've just realised. More editing.
Okey dokey Lokey! I have finished editing and submitted it again.
I never was actually excited for a fanfic before, I really want to know how they will handle going against each other, and with the possibility of having one of their friends brutally murdered by some psychopath, if not by themselves.
Why thank you. It's open ended so far, so I don't know what is going to happen. And yes, maybe someone will kill themselves. Or be killed by a psychopath.

Yeah, I've been watching too many time-travel movies lately, so it probably was rather irrelevant now that I look back.
Pretty good just a few silly mistakes
